Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1598 Submarines, British Submarines

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Jiageng, Zhang Liangfeng, Lin Jiangshi, Hu Tiejun, and Cui Lin, who were staying together on a [-]-ton merchant ship named "Qiangyun", learned that there was a Japanese fleet intercepting ahead.Zhang Liangfeng, Hu Tiejun, and Cui Lin remained calm, but Chen Jiageng and Lin Jiangshi panicked.

Tan Kah Kee smiled wryly: "It was still discovered by the Japanese. After all, it was too unreasonable. Nearly forty ships came at once, enough to transport 8 people. The Japanese will definitely have doubts."

Zhang Liangfeng comforted him and said: "Chairman Chen, there is no need to be too anxious. As long as the Americans insist that we are all American immigrants, there are actually not many ways the Japanese can take. Besides, our commander-in-chief has other arrangements!"

Hu Tiejun: "It's already like this, what are you afraid of? The big deal is death. Even if you don't die in Singapore, life is better than death. Instead of this, it is better to die at sea. At least, we have fought to change our destiny!"

Cui Lin nodded and said: "I agree with what Lao Hu said. Fate should be in our own hands. No matter what the result is, at least we have tried hard. Hehe, I hope that the Japanese will really board the ship for inspection. In that case, we will die It can also pull two padded backs."

"Cui Lin, you have such a bad idea!" Zhang Liangfeng said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether we live or die, but we must not drag the Americans down. If things really get out of hand, then we will take the initiative to leave the US' evacuation ship." Team', in that case, some people should be saved. Cui Lin, did you hear that?"

"understood."

Zhang Liangfeng turned to Chen Jiageng, and said, "Chairman Chen, we must immediately inform the people on the other ships to keep calm no matter what, and don't get confused. By the way, especially the members of the Xinghua Volunteer Army. Before the ships leave the fleet, they must not be arrogant and conflict with the Japanese army."

"Okay, I'll send someone a message!"

At around 01:30 in the morning, the evacuation fleet and the "Kaga" aircraft carrier fleet of the Japanese and Western Expedition Fleet finally met.Under the command of Yamada Definition, the [-] warships of the "Kaga" aircraft carrier fleet and the "Yushan" frigate formed a long snake formation, firmly blocking the sea route for the evacuation fleet.When the distance between the two sides was still five or six kilometers away, more than a dozen speedboats were released from the big ship by the Japanese. These speedboats rushed into the evacuation convoy, and the speakers on the boats immediately began to broadcast: "Listen, people on board, You have entered the warring waters between the Western Expedition Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire and the British Indian Ocean Fleet, please slow down and accept the inspection of our army, we need to verify whether there are any British people mixed in with you—warning, you have entered..."

As soon as the first round of the Japanese speedboat broadcast was over, Tan Kah Kee gave an order to all the Chinese to stay in the cabin and not to move around.At the same time, Mitterrand, accompanied by Grant, entered the captain's room and commanded the American sailors on the heavy cruiser to respond to the Japanese broadcast: "We are the evacuation fleet of the United States of America, and there are no British on board. Our evacuation operation has been approved by your government and military, and you have no right to search us!"

The two sides started a war of words through the radio. At the same time, the Japanese fleet sent three frigates, carrying about a brigade of soldiers, and slowly drove towards the several [-]-ton large ships at the head of the evacuation fleet.

Seeing that the search was inevitable, Grant had to order all the ships to slow down, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to Chen Jiageng and the others, telling them to keep calm and not be impulsive, and leave everything to them.

In the captain's room of the "Kaga" aircraft carrier fleet, Yamada defined the order to let the air force release a brigade of torpedo bombers, and repeatedly told them: "Without my order, no unauthorized attack is allowed! Otherwise, you will be punished as treason!" "

This order defined by Yamada is actually against his will.The middle and low-level officers of the Japanese army were far more fanatical than the senior officers. They had no national righteousness in their hearts at all, and they did not have the concept of fear at all.If Yamamoto 56 had fully delegated powers, the order Yamada defined now must be an offensive order.

On the flight deck of the "Kaga" aircraft carrier, one torpedo plane after another began to take off into the air. At the same time, on several nearby cruisers and frigates, one flare after another shot into the sky, directly covering the entire area. The sea is as bright as day.

Yamada is famous for successfully planning a night battle. This time, facing the American evacuation fleet, he couldn't help but resorted to his favorite tactics.What he didn't know was that when the "Kaga" started to fly fighter planes, two submarines were slowly approaching the "Kaga" on the seabed, and they were less than 2000 meters away from them at this time.

The Japanese were really too careless. They didn't expect that there would be enemy submarines here, so they didn't take corresponding anti-submarine measures. When the Japanese radar soldiers on the "Kaga" and several other ships suddenly discovered When two strange shadows suddenly appeared at the place closest to Zhongxin, it was too late for them to carry out anti-submarine operations.

The first to spot the submarine was a lookout on a frigate next to the Kaga.With the help of flares, he suddenly found two big black guys suddenly appeared seven or eight hundred meters ahead. At first he thought he was dazzled, but after rubbing his eyes for a closer look, he was so horrified that he almost fell off the watchtower down. "Submarines, submarines, British submarines!" he yelled frantically, with a gesture of being too shocked.

His shout alarmed the captain of the frigate. The frigate was ready for battle, and all combatants were in their positions.Realizing that it was too late to inform Yamada of the definition through semaphore or telegram, the captain of the ship made a quick decision and ordered all the artillery at the stern to fire at the two British submarines immediately.

The sound of the cannon fired very close at hand alarmed the devils on the "Kaga", and it was only then that the radar soldier of the ship saw the abnormality on the radar display screen, and he immediately stood up and shouted at Yamada: "Your Excellency, Submarines, enemy submarines!"

Yamada decided to hear the sound of the cannon, and at first he thought that someone ignored Commander Yamamoto's strict order and fired at the US evacuation fleet.A cold sweat broke out in shock, and then he heard the screams of the radar soldiers. He leaned over to take a look, and his heart almost sank to the bottom of the water.He quickly ran to the bridge, looked back, and saw eight obvious water trails dragged by torpedoes hitting the left and right sides of the "Kaga" stern, turned around and shouted to the chief officer who was steering. Said: "Right full rudder! Quick, quick!" The next moment, he ran into the captain's room and sounded the battle alarm, then picked up the microphone and squeezed the send button and shouted loudly: "All ships, move closer to me immediately!" , frigate, conduct anti-submarine warfare immediately."

Four torpedoes struck, and the officers and soldiers of the "Kaga" became a mess amidst the shrill sirens.

The nearby Japanese ships were equipped with walkie-talkies (the Japanese name), and the captains of the ships immediately ordered to turn to the "Kaga" and approached.Those who were not equipped with walkie-talkies turned around one after another. Among them, the captain who reacted quickly ordered anti-submarine warfare, put down the towed sonar in a hurry, and some directly started throwing depth charges into the sea.

In an instant, the formation of the "Kaga" aircraft carrier fleet was completely disrupted.
